HI,

I currently am with an A+ rated book where I keep a few hundred and make $10 bets. For the last 30 years I have been making an annual trip to Vegas (November) where I spread $2500 on the Super Bowl winner, MLB AL and NL champ , and NBA Champ. It is getting harder and harder for me to make that Vegas trip. I always made the Vegas trips because I felt it safe that I would be paid a 2k-6k sum if I was lucky enough to win. Can I feel reasonably safe that if I put $2500 in an A rated sportsbook for that purpose, that I wouldn't have trouble collecting those sums if I win?

Thanks,

Tbill

you should have no problem at all for that sort of money subject to the exorbitant fees you may be charged unless you can use Pinnacle

I don't think you should have a problem using the A+ bookies for this. Obviously check/compare lines to other bookies though - I remember some guy who "took a shot" (according to Mr 5Dimes anyway) at them on some golf futures. Don't take odds that are too good to be true. I don't think you will find too good to be true odds on the markets you quote though, so you should be fine!

What kind of fees? I would think I would be the one getting a bonus on a $2500 deposit as well as once a month
free payout?

Bonuses usually come with turnover requirements attached and it didn't sound like that would suit what you intended to do.

I'm fortunate in that I can use Moneybookers to fund and withdraw from books free of any charges but US residents can't and from what I've been reading on here they all charge fees for withdrawals via the means which are available.

Bonuses have multiple rollover requirements. Free payouts are not that common nowadays.

The Greek is a good choice. They pay fast and are one of the safest.

bookmaker is solid but the lines for futures are sometimes terrible

If you are able William Hill would be perfect choice.

You're safe as long as you stick to top Books. You'll probably want two or three to get the best prices on your futures.
